This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.
1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."
Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.
Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.
2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.
3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.
4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.
In this RTS game, control your virus to replicate and evolve against a powerful immune system. Equip gene segments to create unique viral armies. Use tactics to eliminate immune cells or achieve escape. Develop strategies for domination and enjoy endless strategic fun!
Command your virus to invade cells, wage an all-out war against the immune system, and conquer the world.
Cells are the primary battlegrounds of the game. You need to command your virus to enter host cells and utilize the replication mechanisms within the cell nucleus to rapidly reproduce. As the virus multiplies, the host cell's apoptosis signaling pathway will gradually be activated, eventually leading to programmed cell death. Sometimes, to achieve victory, you need to destroy all the cells; but at other times, you must ensure that a few cells survive to continue providing resources for viral replication.
Once the battle begins, as your virus units increase in number, the host immune system will produce various signaling molecules with different functions to try to stop the spread of your virus:
Apoptosis Inducers: Forcibly activate the host cell's apoptotic pathways to rapidly eliminate viral units that cannot escape in time.
Target Host Cell Receptors: Bind to the spike protein receptors on the host cell surface, competitively blocking viral entry into the cell.
Nucleoside Analogues: Act on the replication mechanism within the host cell nucleus, causing errors in the viral genome during replication and leading to the loss of critical genetic fragments.
Budding Inhibitors: Prevent replicated viruses from leaving the host cell via budding, limiting further viral spread.
Surface antigens are specific molecular structures on the exterior of viral units, randomly composed of various colors and shapes. Each virus unit carries a unique set of four surface antigens. The host's white blood cells identify and engulf your viral units by recognizing these surface antigens. However, through viral mutation mechanisms, you can generate new surface antigens to evade immune recognition.
Controlling the types and quantities of surface antigens is sometimes crucial. When viruses with a specific set of surface antigens increase in number, the host immune system will gradually learn to recognize them, enhancing its immune response against the virus.
Each virus unit can carry up to four genetic fragments, and the game provides multiple types of genetic fragments, each with its own unique function:
Spike Protein Fragment: The most common genetic fragment, capable of unlocking the host cell membrane to allow viral entry for replication.
Budding Protein Fragment: A key genetic fragment that allows the virus to leave the host cell after replication.
Acceleration Fragment: Increases the speed of viral replication within the host cell, accelerating the spread of the virus.
Blocker Fragment: Reduces the phagocytic capabilities of host white blood cells, enhancing viral survival.
Mutation Fragment: Allows the virus to mutate into other genetic fragments with special abilities during replication, increasing diversity and adaptability.
Hemorrhagic Fever Fragment: Directly damages the host's endothelial cells, leading to vascular wall damage and causing persistent bleeding.
Signal Suppression Fragment: When deployed, suppresses immune signaling molecules in a certain range, preventing host cells from undergoing apoptosis or functional changes.
Antigen Conversion Fragment: When deployed, erases all surface antigens of viruses within a certain range, making them unrecognizable and unengulfable by host white blood cells.
Regulation Fragment: Repairs host cell surface structures exploited by the virus, delaying premature cell lysis and apoptosis to ensure a sustained environment for viral replication.
As the supreme commander of the viruses, you must constantly monitor environmental changes, adapt your strategies, and make full use of viral genetic fragments and surface antigens to engage in fierce battles with the host immune system. By continuously optimizing the virus's functions, you can achieve viral spread and evolution, ultimately conquering the entire world!
